Changes in cyst's nuclear chromatin resulting after experimental manipulation of Taenia crassiceps mice infections: Biological implications

► DNA content was estimated from Taenia crassiceps cyst tissue. ► Two highly divergent estimates were found (cf. 0.15 and 0.99 pg). ► Different DNA estimations were related to different states of chromatin compaction. ► Chromatin compaction seems to control some phenomena of the T. crassiceps.
